I own nothing except a few characters and the plot.
HALLOWEEN
WELCOME TO NEW YORK
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
Tommy Doyle walked into the NYPD's 27th Precinct ready to begin work. The Empire had adjusted to Michael and he had adjusted to them. Tommy now hoped for the same thinig here. He walked into a squadroom and headed towards what was to be his office. A detective walked in just as Tommy put a box on his desk.
"You are?" Tommy asked.
"Detective Cyrus Lupo." The detective replied.
"Lupo, your info is somewhere in this box." Lupo closed the door.
"Somebody told me that your other half uses physical violence to correct misbehaviors." Tommy grinned.
"Michael Myers slaps the back of the head. It came with the man who was in charge of Haddonfield PD before Michael along with a set of rules that I might start using on you, Bernard, Franklin, and another detective that plan to bring in."
"You're splitting me and Bernard up?" Lupo asked.
"There are going to be a lot of things changing around here. Any open cases I should be aware of?" Lupo walked out and walked back in with Detective Kevin Bernard and a case file.
"Just this one. Just your average New York City homicide." Bernard said. Tommy stood and bopped the top of Bernard's head.
"Rule Number 1, there is no such thing as an average homicide. Back in Haddonfield, Michael and I dealt with terrorists, the CIA playing spygames, Sith Lords, and nasty serial killers." Tommy told the two.
"Speaking of the CIA, a man named Kort was going through Anti-Crime files here. Van Buren did something with them before we got here. Khayman was with the FBI when we got here." Lupo said. Tommy pulled some folders out of his box and opened one of them
"Let's see what we have here. Detective Lupo. Four years overseas with Intelligence and then here."
"Yep." Tommy checked the other folder.
"Detective Bernard. Two years at Internal Affairs and then here."
"Yes, Sir." Tommy looked up.
"Don't call me Sir." Tommy looked back at the folders.
"I see Lieutenant Van Buren ordered you two to shave what she described as not so nice looking beards and a couple of years before that she chewed Lupo out for a bad search which I do not want to know the details of. She also told me that Lupo broke Rule Number 10 once."
"What would that be?" Bernard asked.
"Never get personally involved with a case." Tommy replied.
"How many rules are there?" Lupo asked.
"About 60 and you learn them as you go along." Tommy's phone rang.
"Doyle. Where? Details? On the way." He turned to Bernard and Lupo.
"Grab your gear. Female found stabbed to death in her apartment. I'll grab Franklin. " Bernard looked at Lupo. Tommy Doyle had a pace that was going to leave the NYPD trying to keep up.
"We better get moving." Lupo said.
"Before he makes it a habit of smacking us on the head." Bernard added.
